TFTM DVD is coming out this week
It seems that the region 2 Transformers the movie DVD will be released this week regardless of the error on the sleeve. I don’t how the retailers or the BBFC will react but it’s being shipped and should be in stores either Wednesday or Thursday this week!
Transformers The Movie cover art revealed!
We have here the first pictures of the Transformers the Movie DVD region 2 cover art. This artwork comes complete with a chapter list insert and the list of special features.
Notice as well the original video cover art from the video gems vhs release. This was requested by the Transformers fans who frequent this site and the artwork was donated by TheTransformers.Net to Maverick for use on the cover!
This cover is for you fans with our help…
Features:
Special introductory footage
Four Soldiers from the Sky Takara episode (as featured on the VHS)
Original theatrical Trailer
Music Picture Gallery
The detail on the release:
It seems that the widescreen version is not after all going to be on this DVD, but let’s concentrate on what will be on here. The introductory footage comes from the BBC and their ‘I love 1984’ documentary. Some of this can be seen in our video clips section now.
There is also a music picture gallery featuring some new NRG tracks. This will light any Transfans darkest hour. The one track is called Aw Shit and is based on our favourite foul mouthed human Spike.
The only hold up on the release now is the wait for the 5:1 digital sound to arrive from the US, with a date of 19 November now looking realistic.
What may not look realistic though are plans for the season 1 box set for the 31st of December! There are still thoughts of an exclusive Transformer toy accompanying this box set… we’ll see.
You’ll notice that all of the artwork on the DVD comes from the Marvel comic/poster adaption of Transformers the Movie, as supplied by TheTransformers.Net
